Snorkeling was the best!
I couldn't swim, so I had to be carried there in a swim ring... I'm sure it was a lot of work for them, lol.
A gap in the coral?! It was incredibly deep, and the water was crystal clear!
The guy who showed me around was a handsome guy with naturally curly hair.
I had a great time starting from the ride in the van on the way there.
I’d definitely love to ask that handsome guy with naturally curly hair to do it again!!

Geopolitical tensions are directly leading to internet restrictions, and the first thing a government cuts off when it wants to tighten control is commercial VPN access—because every provider’s IP range is already documented, and blocking them is a five-minute job. If you think your country is too stable for this to happen, look at Russia, China, Iran, the UAE—and the list keeps growing. A private VPN deployed on your own VPS server isn’t on any provider’s list and can’t be taken down as part of a brand-wide crackdown. There’s a one-time $40 setup fee paid in cryptocurrency from anywhere in the world; after that, you’ll only pay your monthly VPS bill. Contact me for remote installation.

I had a blast on my first trip to Ishigaki!
I’ll focus my comments on how things were handled during the tour.
●Reason for Participating
 Because I’m not familiar with safety precautions at the beach or the locations of snorkeling spots. For those who aren’t used to it, taking a tour is safer, and you can leave the scheduling to the tour operators. It’s also convenient that you can rent equipment, so you don’t have to bring anything from home.
●About the Tour
 The Kawahira Bay SUP and Blue Cave tours are booked as a package.
Since we had to return to the Euglena Terminal at noon, the 30-minute one-way travel time (2 hours total) was a bit of a hassle. Each activity on-site lasted one hour. I would have liked a little more time for snorkeling, but I guess that depends on how much energy I have.
●Tour Guide
 Although I had different guides in the morning and afternoon, they were all very friendly and great at telling stories! They shared tips on Ishigaki’s best food and sights. Since their recommendations are based on firsthand experience, you can’t go wrong with any of the places they suggest.
●About the Company
 I was surprised to see about 30 people gathered at the meeting point, but we split into groups of four or five cars per route and set off. You can’t really tell what a company is like just from the registration process, but it was reassuring to see that it was a large company. There were some international participants as well, but they seemed well-accustomed to the process, and everything went smoothly.

[Summary]
When it comes to tours, peace of mind is the most important thing, isn't it?
In that regard, it's definitely a winner—I highly recommend it!
With so many tours to choose from, I’m so glad I chose pipi!

The Ishigaki Island Complete Conquest Plan was a luxurious course that allowed visitors to fully enjoy popular spots in a single day.
On the SUP at Kabira Bay, the guide showed us the perfect photo spots and we all got some beautiful shots.
Despite it being my first time snorkeling in the Blue Cave, I was able to enjoy the experience with ease thanks to the careful support of the guide and was impressed by the beauty of the fish and coral.
The mangrove SUP was very relaxing, with detailed explanations about the ecosystem, and the time spent on the quiet river was very relaxing!
The guide kept us entertained throughout the day with local stories and fun talks while we were on the move.
The service at the time of booking was smooth, the kindness of the staff was impressive, and the plan was a great way to experience the charms of Ishigaki Island.

At Kabira Bay, we enjoyed SUP in the clear water, and at the Blue Cave, we enjoyed snorkeling in the mysterious blue light of the sea. In the afternoon, we enjoyed nature by SUP cruising in the mangrove forest, and we were able to actively experience the charm of Ishigaki Island all day long. With careful support from the guides, it was a wonderful tour that even beginners could enjoy without worries.

Due to weather conditions, we were not able to go to the Blue Cave, but we were very happy to see sea turtles while snorkeling in another part of the island. Kabira Bay is also the most popular spot in Ishigaki Island, and it was as beautiful as it sounds. The sunset tour was a memorable experience with beautiful photos taken.
